A Republican group gunning for transparency in political fundraising might just have hit the jackpot. The Fair Election Fund, a watchdog organization launched by former House Judiciary Committee ranking member Doug Collins, has turned up a veritable treasure trove of potential donor fraud in contributions tied to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign. So far, the investigation has flagged over 60,000 questionable donations linked to the left’s preferred fundraising platform, ActBlue. It may be time for a serious wake-up call for those whose wallets are being emptied while they sit obliviously on the sidelines.
Between late July and early August, investigators with the Fair Election Fund decided to play an investigative game of hide-and-seek. They reached out to many individuals listed as small-dollar donors in the Biden-Harris campaign’s July Federal Election Commission report, only to find that these alleged supporters couldn’t recall donating even a dime to the Democrat ticket. What’s next—finding UFOs in campaign finance reports? The only extraterrestrial beings here are the dubious fundraising tactics that seem to be out of this world.
ACT BLUE and the entire Harris campaign funds are a huge scam…cheaters and liars are now also thieves https://t.co/kj3rAiMtP2

The audacity of the Democrat money machine seems boundless—if individuals are unwittingly becoming accomplices in laundering donations to Kamala Harris, this could easily turn into the greatest scandal of modern presidential history. Doug Collins’s unrelenting pursuit of the truth feels almost heroic, like a budget version of a superhero wearing a business suit instead of a cape. He insists that ensuring fairness in elections extends beyond just the ballot box; it tackles the very integrity of campaign financing. One can only hope the public doesn’t need to wear tinfoil hats to protect themselves from the vast and shadowy world of Democrat fundraising.
The Fair Election Fund is not just playing around. After spending a cool $250,000 to initiate this audit, they are already sharing leads with Republican Attorney Generals across the country. Alabama’s Steve Marshall is on the case—eager to determine if constituents have been duped by ActBlue’s antics. Congress may have its share of serious issues to tackle, but this one surely ranks right up there with the absurdity of a Congressman claiming he can legislate away climate change.
Moreover, the intensity of the investigations extends beyond Alabama. Notable figures like Texas’s Ken Paxton, Nebraska’s Mike Hilgers, and Kansas’s Kris Kobach are digging deep into these disconcerting allegations of fraud. Their determined approach might soon reveal that donation practices on ActBlue are less about democratic participation and more akin to a cheap magic trick: now you see the donors, now you don’t. In fact, the investigations have already prompted ActBlue to implement a CVV code requirement—a clue that they might be feeling the heat from the cameras now trained on them.
As more evidence stacks up against ActBlue, the Fair Election Fund is gearing up for a significant budget boost, promising to funnel over $5 million into combating election fraud in 2024. They are not only investigating dubious donations but also targeting those in positions overseeing the electoral process, like three Democrats on the North Carolina elections board who have been reticent to grant ballot access to independent candidates. For the Fair Election Fund, this is just the beginning, and they clearly have no intention of letting the Democrats slip through the cracks without consequences. Buckle up, America; the electoral integrity rollercoaster is just getting started.
